Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1440 Panacea

Zhu Xianxin paid attention to what was happening in Europe, but not that much.

After all, Shangluo had always been reliable in his work, and he was a trusted junior brother whom he had found with great difficulty. After the conversation, he was also convinced that what Shangluo was doing was in line with his own vision - after all, Shangluo was already very busy, and he was much busier than Shangluo. Because in addition to being the Son of Heaven, he also had the responsibility of being an alchemist, and there were many things he had to do himself.

For example, although the ideal of "allowing everyone to ascend to heaven through alchemy" has been proven to be unreliable, the panacea has been proven to be credible.

Even pandas’ estrus can be cured. This is a harmless panacea to humans and animals.

Since this matter is useful and very useful, Zhu Xianxi plans to handle this matter himself to ensure that no one dies from illness before the ascension arrives, and to allow as many people as possible to directly enter the ascension process in a better condition.

Now it is Shangluo who seems to be coordinating the overall situation and governing the world with tranquility, but he himself is busy all the time.

"Okay, let's stop here for the meal." Zhu Xianxin stood up halfway through the meal and said, "I have something else to do. Shangluo, please continue to entertain Victoria for me. And keep an eye on Zhu Ling for me. Let her go home quickly after the meal."

"Why? Shouldn't I, your younger sister, be the one to receive the guests? When did my place become his?"

"If you have the ability to complete a task 100% once you go out on a business trip, I will also entrust you with the task next time."

"Brother, are you so busy?"

"Well, someone will come to see me in a while. Oh, right." He suddenly thought, "Since you think I'm busy, and you happen to be free now, why don't you help me share the burden. This way, the status between the two of us can be compromised."

Zhu Ling took the opportunity to suggest, "Okay! Then I'll help you take care of Victoria! I'll take care of the guests."

"Ah," Shangluo nodded, "Okay, then let's go together."

He and Zhu Xianxun went out.

"Ahaha!" Zhu Ling stood up and sat in Zhu Xianxin's seat, "Then let's go out and play in the afternoon!"

"Go out?" Victoria thought for a moment, "Do I really have to go out?"

"My brother asked me to entertain you, so I must do it."

“But I don’t want to go out that much.”

"How about we go see the pandas!"

"????" Victoria's eyes widened, "Really? We can go see the pandas? But..."

She glanced at Lady Agatha beside her—and received a shake of the head in response.

"Well. She won't let me go out."

"That's easy!" Zhu Ling said, "Since we can't go out to see the pandas, why don't we invite the pandas to our home? They can touch them as they please, it's okay."

Even Ms. Agatha was stunned. She asked, "Is there such a plan? Can we invite the panda to come home?"

This sounds a bit weird, especially when you ask me to come home and touch anything.
"Of course other pandas can't, but there is one that can."

"Shall we go get it then?"

"No, no." Zhu Ling waved her hand, "Let it take a taxi here by itself. It's a part-time panda, and it has travel expenses."

“Part-time job???”

This series of conversations made Ms. Agatha's brain crash.

Zhu Xianxi also received a notice later.

"What?" He was stunned for a moment when he received the call. "Okay, I agree."

After answering the phone, he looked towards Shangluo with a look of despair on his face, and it was obvious that this matter was related to Shangluo.

"What happened?"

"Zhu Ling ordered Panda takeout."

“Do you have this takeaway?”

"She asked the panda to come to their house for them to play with."

"Ah, it's Rumble, right?"

"No. Longlong is a full-time panda and is working in the park at this time. The one who was called over was Longlong's twin sister. She is a part-time panda and is not working at this time, so she can go out for field work."

“Is there still such a business???”

"She actually did this when she was little. My dad really spoiled her to no end. He even let Yuyuan bring Panda home to play house with her and eat with her at the small table. She was like Longlong's little sister. From then on, she couldn't stop. She went straight to work at Yuyuan and worked with Panda every day."

"So Longlong's sister is a part-time panda now? What does she do normally?"

"The Royal Garden has some medical projects that cooperate with children with autism. They often hold traveling zoos in places like pediatric hospitals, and they specially select animals with stable emotions. Other places usually send working dogs, but the Royal Garden cannot send ordinary working dogs, but pandas. The animals sent need to be stable and able to play with children for a day. Victoria's words."

[Although Victoria's illness is not caused by psychological reasons, her behavior does seem to indicate that she has some psychological problems.]

"So having the panda come over to play with Victoria is really in line with her job duties."

"By the way, Longlong's sister is also a spirit beast?"

"No. But as a twin, she seemed to have received some of the spiritual energy when Longlong became a spirit beast - Zhu Ling didn't tell me a word, and I didn't know about this before. I just wondered why there were so many powerful pandas in the Imperial Garden. She was so emotionally stable and could play with children for a whole day without moving. She was really well trained - I didn't expect that it was because of this that she found a part-time panda."

“So part-time job means”

"I just found out about this some time ago - pandas have different personalities. Pandas that like people are exhibited outside, and those that don't like people stay in the inner room. It's normal. Longlong's sister is not on display. I asked her some time ago and she told me that Longlong's sister usually watches TV in the employee lounge and never stays in the panda's room. She doesn't eat bamboo at all. She only plays the role of a panda when she needs to go to the hospital." "Is it such a part-time job? I thought she was more diligent than Longlong and had an extra job. I didn't expect that she was just a part-time panda?"

"There are only lazy pandas and lazier ones. How can there be any diligent ones? If there is a diligent one, it might be a black bear pretending to be one. Anyway, we are treating Victoria well by having a professional bear warrior accompany her. She should be very happy."

"By the way, who's coming over here, Senior Brother?"

"General Yuan."

"Governor Yuan?"

"Yes, things have changed. Another governor named Yuan has taken that position. Li Yinchang, the Grand Governor of Beiting, has decided to join the cabinet. And the cabinet has decided to let him take the position of Grand Governor of Yangzhou as a cabinet member, and then he will be the commander-in-chief. But he is still in Beiting and has not taken up the position. He has to wait until Governor Yuan takes office and replaces him."

"So what did this Governor Yuan do?"

"General Yuan was originally the governor of Pontianak, Singapore, and Manta, and was in charge of military affairs. This position is generally called the Governor of Nanyang. He also served as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, in charge of Nanyang's military affairs. Most of Nanyang's military affairs were managed by Guoxing and Lanfang, so he was mainly in charge of Nanyang's local garrisons. He held the title of Left Vice-Chief Censor, a third-rank official. In fact, governors generally do not hold third-rank official positions."

The governor of Nanyang was one rank higher because this position was originally supposed to be the "Grand Governor of Nanyang". However, Nanyang was mainly the fief of Lan Fang, and there were not many places that belonged to the actual land guards. Unlike the Western Regions, where a whole governor's office could be formed. Therefore, although the military affairs of Nanyang were managed, this position only required one governor to manage it.

The governor was a universal socket, because the governor himself had no rank, he was a temporary dispatch from the imperial system, and he had completely different functions depending on the place. This governor in charge of defense was the top job among the governors, so the court attached great importance to it.

"Then he is considered..." Shang Luo thought for a moment and said the word directly: "Which school is he from?"

"He is from the left wing of the Political Affairs Hall. He is not in the same faction as Elder Wen. However, regardless of the left wing or the right wing, we are generally in the same direction. At least we all want to live forever. This time I asked you to come with me to meet people, mainly because I want to talk about the elixir. Before I leave, I also let him eat the elixir before leaving."

It was not easy to make a pill that could prolong one's life by asking God for it, but it was not difficult to make a pill that would shorten one's life. If Xu Fu could make it, he could make it too.

"Is it ready now?"

Zhu Xianxun nodded: "After all, I am an alchemist, so it is easy for me to handle this kind of thing. I just don't know how long he can live after eating it - Governor Yuan's health should be good, so he should be fine."

"The governor's surname is Yuan, which I always feel is not a good sign."

"Ah," Zhu Xianxi said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. I can't stop someone with the surname Yuan from being the governor. Anyway, there must be no problem with my pill. I've already let my dog ​​try it."

"?"

"What a jerk! The incident with the King of Joseon doesn't count, as that time it was the elixir given by Xu Fu. This time it's my dog. After that, several members of the Imperial Guards also ate it, and the effect was pretty good - after all, it's not difficult to make a elixir that's deadly. But having to rest in the Moon Palace at the end is another story."

"Good fellow." Shang Luo pressed his forehead, "Which Jinyiwei dares to eat this?"

"There is a Jinyiwei who has severe rhinitis."

"what?"

"You don't know if you don't have rhinitis. It's very painful. He felt it was too uncomfortable. Sometimes he would be woken up by a stuffy nose in the middle of the night. So he decided to take the pill. He still has 29 years to live, and he can probably reach 60 years old. With this calculation, he should have lived to 29 or years old, so he has shortened his life. But it doesn't matter. We will ascend to heaven in the next few years, and it will definitely not take years. He takes it now, so he can ascend early and enjoy it early."

After taking these pills, he could achieve a state close to that of a celestial being, only half a step away from that state - his body would hardly age, and his control over his body would be greatly enhanced. And most importantly, he would never get sick again in the future. His body could repair all external problems on its own.

Even if he had severe external injuries, he could slow down his physical exhaustion by controlling his body, reaching a state close to that of a turtle's breathing, so that he would not die so easily even when he was on the verge of death.

Of course, they were able to do this because those Jinyiwei were originally Qigong practitioners, but they had not yet reached the foundation-building stage. After mortals ate it, although they could gain similar physical qualities, they could not gain a stronger cultivation base, they just wouldn't get sick.

"What will happen if Governor Yuan eats it?"

"I've seen Governor Yuan's medical report. He was in pretty good health last year. He's 52 years old this year. He should have no problem living another 10 to years after taking the medicine. But if he lives less than years, it'll be a little difficult because time is tight. We might have to let him turn rabbits for a while. These situations all need to be explained. Please help me fill in the blanks when the time comes. I'm afraid there's something I haven't said."

Two hours later.

"So, this is the situation." Zhu Xianxun gave a complete explanation of the situation to Governor Yuan who was sitting in front of him, and Shangluo also completed the supplement.

"Thank you, Emperor, and Lord Shang Tian." Governor Yuan bowed his hands and thanked them. "Then I won't be polite. I will share my blessings first."

After all the explanations, Governor Yuan was overjoyed - his official rank had not yet reached the point where he could fully contact the extraordinary world, but with the arrival of the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, he more or less knew something. Now that he had received the latest results, he could gain a healthy lifespan, return to youth, and get the best physical condition.

This is really a big profit.

Although he might have to work as a laborer within 10 years, this was only the worst case scenario. He was still willing to take some small risks in exchange for some youth. After all, the real national rise was not far away, so the worst that could happen was that he would be frustrated for a few years.

He took the pill from Zhu Xianxun's hand - a celadon-like pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Immediately, he leaned back and fainted.

"Huh???" Shangluo and Zhu Xianxun were shocked. Just as they were about to get up to call for help, the elixir that had already taken effect pulled up the unconscious Governor Yuan.

"General Yuan, are you okay?" Shangluo hurried forward and supported General Yuan.

"What's wrong with me? I just remembered something!" He had another heart attack and was pulled back. He took a few breaths before leaning against the wall:
"Your Majesty! I only have three days to live! Only three days!"

"Well, this" Fu Yuanshan was also called over, and there were many people from the alchemy room. Many people had a medical background before entering the alchemy room, and they were all looking through Governor Yuan's physical examination reports over the years.

"We discussed it a bit," Fu Yuanshan said. "According to preliminary estimates, Governor Yuan may have unfortunately contracted a rapidly progressing cancer in the past year. The pill just now cured his cancer, making him look young and radiant again, but he only has three days left to live."

"2 days and 22 hours!" Governor Yuan covered his forehead, almost collapsed, "It's just a little faster than the last breath! Why is it like this!"

As the number of people was about to die, he no longer cared about etiquette and spoke louder. He spoke with extra strength now, and was more energetic than before.

Such a short lifespan means that even if he does not drink water now, he will not necessarily die of thirst after 2 days and 22 hours, but will enter a silent state due to the collapse of his physical condition.

Zhu Xianxun sat silently behind his desk: "That's not right. I have clearly tried it this time and the effect is very good. Is my luck really that bad? Shangluo, what should I do?"

"How about I take Governor Yuan to the moon to look at the houses? The Moon Palace is quite big, we can stay anywhere we want."
